The altar and ceiling:I forgot to take pictures however of the McDonald's store in the church ground which was the subject of heated debates some years back. Oh, and there is now a van terminal beside McDonald's, which is also inside the church ground.

The original fast food chain (Mcdo) was originally proposed for Batangas City and from what I recall was one of the reason why the parish wants to demolish the old convent formerly occupied by St. Bridget's. We objected (this also caused a great amount of controversy) and tried to save the old convent.

Only to find out that the Mcdo would be built in Balayan instead. One of the difficult institutions or persons that one can fight against or ask to see it a different way would be the CLERGY. They like to criticize but hate to be criticized. They use arguments for their own needs and gain. The clergy are good businessmen. Just look around. Lipa Cathedral instead of having a fence, have several commercial establishments for a fence. The poor state of conservation and heritage awareness are partly due to the clergy themselves. They think they own the church they are assigned to.
